Hi, I have created a profile to only allow system settings and Pages apps. It worked as expected, but I keep getting the prompts below. Is there any way for me to disable them? Thank you.   

Our desk side support manager is pushing for his team and the service desk to have full access to our console in terms of systems settings, creating/modifying groups, creating and modifying configuration profiles, creating and modifying policies ,etc. I am of the opinion that these are administrative functions which require some specialized knowledge and should be limited to administrators. Presently, they have access to view device information, assign policies, and push some MDM commands. I’m curious to know how your organizations manage access to the console. How many full administrators do you actually have in your consoles? What is your policy on tracking changes? What permissions do you give to your help desk and desk side support?

PI-1152 involves the MDM Device Identity Certificate not being trusted on new enrollments after updating to version 11.26.PI-1153 concerns Device Identity Certificates being marked as untrusted in Keychain Access during enrollment in version 11.26.1.

We’re moving away from Cisco Secure Client. But this utility is cool, and helpful. • A macOS utility to repackage Cisco Secure Client DMG files for unattended deployment via Jamf Pro (or any MDM solution).• huexley/CiscoRepackager• https://github.com/huexley/CiscoRepackager?utm_campaign=MacAdmins.news&utm_medium=email&utm_source=MacAdmins.news_385

Hello there!I’m using Jamf School synced with ASM with shared iPads. I wanted to start using Jamf Teacher app on teacher’s shared iPads, so I’ve just configured Jamf Teacher following Jamf’s guidelines. It started working fine with all classes and students showing up correctly. But since I needed to rename all classes. I renamed in ASM, synced Jamf School, and reassigned teachers to their renamed classes. But now I get this error on Teacher’s iPads “You are not allowed to add students to manages classes. Contact your IT administrator for support” (I’m IT support). Any idea how to resolve this?Thanks! 

Apple Classroom on Teacher Macs in Jamf School - Possible without Managed Apple IDs?We're migrating from Jamf Pro to Jamf School. Previously had Apple Classroom working with Macs and iPads via ASM roster syncing from our SIS—no Managed Apple IDs needed.Current status in Jamf School:✅ Apple Classroom works on teacher iPads and student iPads ✅ Jamf Teacher app works on teacher Macs (shows rostered classes) ❌ Apple Classroom on teacher Macs won't load rostered classesTeacher Macs aren't receiving the Education Profile despite fresh enrollments. I suspect it's related to MDM-capable users, but can't confirm. Class data is clearly flowing (iPads get it, Jamf Teacher gets it), so it seems like a device-specific enrollment issue.Is Apple Classroom on teacher Macs possible in Jamf School without Managed Apple IDs?The solution seems tantalizing close based a on a checkbox still available in Jamf School - just that it only applied to pretty dated OS versions. Other 2 year old post   

Hi everyone,We’re currently using Jamf School to manage our Apple devices and are running into issues with Microsoft’s enforcement of strong certificate mapping as outlined in KB5014754.Our environment relies on certificate-based authentication with Active Directory. While we’ve configured UPN mapping using the RFC 822 SAN field, our domain controllers (now in Full Enforcement mode) are rejecting certificates that don’t meet the new strong mapping requirements.Unfortunately, Jamf School doesn’t appear to support:Inclusion of SAN URIs with SID Custom certificate templates Scripting or automation for explicit mapping via altSecurityIdentitiesWe’ve temporarily enabled Compatibility Mode on our domain controllers, but this is only viable until 10 September 2025, when Microsoft will enforce Full Enforcement by default.Questions for the community and Jamf staff:Are there any confirmed plans for Jamf School to support strong certificate mapping before the enforcement deadline? Has anyone foun

JAMF Pro -  Running into something weird with newly prestaged Macs and not sure where to start.After PreStage enrollment, our internal CA cert. is getting installed, but it shows as not trusted in the System keychain. We can manually trust it and it’s fine after that.This wasn’t happening before — machines on 26.2 were fine. Started noticing it on 26.4.At the same time, GlobalProtect won’t connect on these machines. It just throws:“network connection is unreachable or portal is unresponsive”

We’re planning to meet via Zoom on April 23rd for some freeform discussion about Apple’s new Apple Business platform. We’d love to see you there! https://luma.com/77o24323

Apple released the specs for a Migration Assistant Blueprint but you need to install at MDM enrolment to be able to use it. When will Jamf Pro support assigning Blueprints to PreStage enrollments?We need this for more than just Migration Assistant, it be a good to have for Passcode policies and a number of other settings as well.

Hi Guys,We are facing very weird issue at our Orgs, where none of the packages are getting installed during enrollment for some devices. The issue is not for all the devices, and usually for few devices but been having this issue once in a while.All the packages are signed, and works perfectly fine for most of the device. And for god sake, we cant replicate this issue whenever we do a testing.Those devices who have issue with package installation, usually works once wiped and re-run the enrolment process.Does anyone have idea on how to get this sorted?

One of my users cannot register for platform single sign-on. She can complete step 1, which is to authenticate with her Mac login password.  Next, she can enter her email address. That’s when the process goes awry. After entering her email address, the window goes blank white. Behind it, we can see that Company Portal is doing something in the background. There’s the spinning progress icon. After seeing this, I removed and reinstalled Company Portal and ensured that the latest version was installed. She’s running macOS 26.3.1 and will have 26.4.1 soon since I just started enforcing that update. Has anyone seen this behavior and solved it? The PSSO login type used is Secure Enclave. We can’t do anything but cancel the registration. 

Hello,    I’m just getting started with SUPERMAN and have only done test computers and some alpha users.  Right now I have mine very simple.  I have JAMF API setup to run this so that the users do not need to have admin privleges.I have a PPPC Config Profile to enable this.I’m using Static / Smart Groups to target devices for deploying the Configuration Profile, and the Policy.The Configuration profile is the main area when I am configuring the Script behavior.Default Defered Timer = 30 minutesMenu Defered timer = 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, or 8hrSoft Count Deadline = 3And using a custom branding Icon. How aggressive have you been with your users to get MacOS upgraded?  My experience so far is that users like to be on the latest OS and don’t mind the upgrde (even when it changes some of the appearance).Do you prefer Hard Count over Deadline Date?What messaging or communication do you like to do with the end users?  We have a whole communication protocol in place, but I haven’t gotten any direction

I’m well aware that there’s a big “old dog/new tricks” aspect to my reticence to move away from configuration profiles to blueprints, but my primary hangup with even exploring Blueprints too much is the limited scoping capabilities. In particular, I find it really useful with a configuration profile to just be able to exclude a single computer from the scope to remove it for testing or other reasons. But with Blueprints being entirely smart group dependent, the only way I know of to do that would be to modify the smart group to not include a computer name, or maybe link the smart group to a static group, but that feels janky. Help me think through this please.

We currently have over 600 inventory searches under Mobile Devices—many of them are duplicates or tied to old devices. Unfortunately, Jamf does not allow us to delete multiple searches at once, so each one has to be removed manually, one by one.It would be extremely helpful if Jamf could improve the interface by adding a filter option at the top of the page. For example, filters for date created (old/new), alphabetical order, or last used. In addition, having the ability to select multiple searches and delete them in bulk would make a huge difference.This would save time, reduce clutter, and help keep the system much more organized.

I am seeing a Keychain not found alert after I recently started enforcing OneDrive Desktop and Documents sync. This just happened on my newly enrolled test Mac after I registered platform single sign-on. The alert appeared as I was logging in to OneDrive. There is actually an entry in Keychain. I looked up the ID shown in the screenshot. Reset to Defaults is NOT the right choice. I found that unlinking the Mac from OneDrive and then signing in again helps, but this prompt came up as I was in the process of logging in. We use platform single sign-on so there is no password prompt. Has anyone else seen this and solved it?

With the recent release of the M5, we’ve been trying to connect MacBook Pro’s to our 802.1x secured Wifi Network.We’re using the same configuration profile that has worked on the rest of our fleet.  Our network team have looked at the logs and have determined the issue is on the endpoint side “WLC keep sending EAP-TLS request and no response from client”.Wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue and what if anything was done to fix it.Thanks

We are currently in the process of implementing Jamf Pro in our company environment. So far, we have successfully integrated several scripts, SMB shares, and other configurations, and everything was running smoothly.As the next step, we attempted to set up Jamf Connect in order to integrate a SAML authentication flow via our Entra environment. The goal was to allow users to log in with their Entra credentials during a fresh macOS installation.However, after configuring Jamf Connect, we started encountering a critical issue. The Microsoft 365 login window appears as expected, but after a few seconds, the entire Mac screen goes black and becomes completely unresponsive. The only way to recover from this state is by manually restarting the device.Additionally, since this issue started occurring, our previously working scripts and configurations are no longer functioning as expected.Has anyone experienced a similar issue or has any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or resolve this problem

Hoping someone can help as this has been making me pull my hair out.Running Jamf Pro with AD CS Connector delivering machine certs via SCEP. Macs are domain joined. Two SSIDs, one through Meraki APs with two NPS servers in the RADIUS config, another through a Cisco Z3 pointing to a separate NPS server. Same cert template, same Jamf profile structure across everything.The Z3 SSID works perfectly, Macs connect no problem. The Meraki SSID fails on every Mac. Windows machines on the same Meraki SSID and same NPS policy work fine.The CA is definitely issuing the cert, visible in certsrv. The Mac is also prompting to select a cert manually when it shouldn't be. NPS logs are completely silent, no 6273 events at all when the machine cert is used. The only time 6273 shows up in logs is when I manually pick a randomly assigned JAMF cert that belongs to a machine not in AD, and that's just "user account does not exist" shows up in my logs.eapolclient on the Mac shows the full TLS handshake comple

 In any technology job across industries there’s an evident gender gap. As a young professional, I was fortunate enough to find role models who shared their tips on claiming a seat at the table, which helped me overcome imposter syndrome.

We’ve been using the jamf provided MakeMeAnAdmin shell script for temporary user account elevation without any issues for a while, but as of the last week or so it appears to have stopped working. jamf/MakeMeAnAdmin: Provides temporary admin access for a standard user via Jamf Self Service This has failed on two separate devices, one 26.2 and another on 26.4.  When reviewing logs, it mentions a group no longer being found.  I’ve looked around on Reddit and these forums and haven’t seen any other mentions of this issue recently, so figured it would not hurt to check in with the community. Typically we have been using the script via the Self Service app with no issues.  I know Self Service + is coming fast - could this be related?  Or is this just awkward timing on that front. We don’t use Jamf Connect, but putting a partial configuration for it and using the Self Service + app is successful in elevating the user temporarily to Admin permissions.  It is just the standard method of Self S
